Luis Scola explained that his adjustment to coming off the bench has been easier this season.

Hampered last season by a sore shooting elbow, Scola is now comfortable and healthy. "It took me a little while to get used to (playing off the bench)," he said. "When you have a consistent role you get to know what your team is going to do and they know how you play and you know when you're going to get into the game and how many minutes you play," he added. Scola got some run with the starters early this year when David West (ankle) was out, and it's benefiting him nicely now. In unrelated news, Scola had a red welt on his knee after Sunday's win, but it's not expected to be an issue. Mar 2 - 10:05 AM

Luis Scola led the Pacers' second unit on Sunday with 15 points on 7-of-12 shooting, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in just 19 minutes of action.

The 76ers yield monster games to role players with regularity, so view Scola's big night in context. Scoring and rebounding are Scola's strong-suits, and those two categories are the only reasons to own him in deep fantasy leagues. Mar 1 - 9:59 PM

Luis Scola notched his fifth double-double of the season with 15 points, 14 rebounds and three assists in 26 bench minutes vs. the Hornets on Sunday.

The boards tied Scola's season high and he only turned the ball over once while shooting an efficient 6-of-11 from the field and 3-of-4 from the FT line. This was easily one of his best games all season and one outlier performance doesn't change his poor post-break fantasy outlook. Feb 8 - 9:59 PM

Luis Scola (rest) will be active against the Kings on Saturday.

Scola was a healthy scratch on Thursday so that he could get some extra rest, but he will have to step back into the rotation vs. the Kings now that Lavoy Allen has been ruled out with a sore knee. However, considering that Scola has been a major disappointment this season, owners outside of deeper leagues should look the other way. Jan 31 - 11:50 AM

Paul George (leg) went through a full practice on Thursday, but he remains without an official timetable to return.

This was George's first full practice since sustaining his gruesome leg injury less than seven months ago, and he was seen running with the starters. Head coach Frank Vogel said, "[George has] got a long way to go before he gets cleared to play," but remained hopeful that he'd be able to return at some point this season. George offers plenty of upside and again stated his desire to return by mid-March following Thursday’s practice. If your team is in a position where you can afford to hold on to the dead roster space while he gets himself into game shape, George is certainly worth the risk.
